Download files

You should download the following files from the Exercise download: HelloWorld.java, Include.shtml (the HTML presented in this lesson that includes a <SERVLET> tag).

Instructions

Copy your HelloWorld servlet code to a file called Include.java, and remove some of the println() calls so that it emits just a single line of text, such as “Hello from a servlet tag!”
Compile the servlet, and start the Java Web Server.
Copy Include.shtml to the public_html folder for Java Web server.
Copy Include.class to the servlet folder for Java Web Server.
Launch or switch to a browser, and enter this URL to see the combined output of the ordinary HTML and the servlet output:

http://localhost:8080/Include.shtml
Paste your code into the text area below once it is all working smoothly.
